Disaster recovery just got a lot more affordable.
PlateSpin Forge 10-workload protection now shipping

PlateSpin Forge is a disaster recovery hardware appliance that provides complete protection for server workloads straight out of the box. In the event of production server downtime or a disaster, protected workloads can be rapidly recovered and continue to run on the PlateSpin Forge appliance until they can be restored to the production environment. PlateSpin Forge is available in either a 10 or 25 workload protection model, allowing enterprises to cost-effectively match their recovery investment with the size of their data center. Storage, applications and virtualization technology are all pre-packaged and ready to go, dramatically reducing implementation time and effort.

Quicker, Smarter, More Economical
PlateSpin Forge revolutionizes the way disaster recovery solutions are deployed, tested and managed by offering an affordable and easy-to-use solution for protecting all workloads in the data center. With PlateSpin Forge, data centers can protect whole server workloads – both system and data volumes – within a single bootable recovery environment using virtualization. Providing consolidated workload protection and rapid recovery with no need for costly duplicate hardware and software, PlateSpin Forge is disaster recovery evolved.

Easier to Test
Regular testing is a critical but often overlooked component of a disaster recovery plan. PlateSpin Forge allows organizations to rapidly and easily test the integrity of workload replication. With a single click, users can take a virtual snapshot of the recovery workload, power it on within a private internal network and quickly validate the recovery plan to ensure that recovery metrics including RTO and RPO are met. Because the test snapshot is fenced off from the production network, users can work without impacting the integrity of the production environment.

Faster to Recover and Restore
It is no longer sufficient simply to be able to recover from an outage. The recovery must also be fast and seamless in order to minimize business disruption and data loss. With PlateSpin Forge, recovery time in the event of downtime is as simple as powering on a virtual machine. PlateSpin Forge enables organizations to cost-effectively improve recovery time and point objectives across a broad range of server workloads. PlateSpin Forge provides the flexibility to restore workloads to any physical or virtual host regardless of manufacturer, make or model.

More Effortless to Manage
PlateSpin Forge includes an intuitive Web-based interface for managing, monitoring and reporting on all aspects of workload protection and recovery. An ever-present dashboard enables users to view the status of their protection plan at all times and receive actionable alerts via a mobile device. PlateSpin Forge’s unique integrated management interface radically reduces the time, effort and training required to administer a recovery solution.

PlateSpin products allow organizations to adopt, manage and extend their use of server virtualization in the data center. With support for physical and virtual machines, as well as images, our products improve the speed and quality of server consolidation, hardware migration and disaster recovery initiatives.
